IMPROVEMENT IN SAD-iRON STANDS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 148,706, dated March 17, 1874; application filed December 10, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SUSAN T. INEsLY, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Sad-Iron Holders, of which the following is a specification:

The object of this invention is to furnish a sadiron holder which is capable of the uses of the ordinary holders, and which can be reversed or either side turned up to support the iron, while it may be securely held in place on an ironing board or table, if desired. The invention consists of a sad-iron holder, which is constructed with feet on one side and a vertical rim or flange on its other, whereby said holder can be reversed to present either face for supporting the iron.

\Vith the holder constructed as above described is combined two brackets or bars which are adapted to be secured to an ironing board or table, and which has recesses for the reception of the feet on the holder, whereby the holder is retained in a secure position on the board, and is not liable to slide off the same if the board he tilted.

in the drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of my invention; Fig. 2, a plan view thereof; Fig. 3, a longitudinal section; and Fig. 4, a side elevation, showing he holder reversed.

In the drawing, A represents the sad-iron holder, which is of the usual shape or configuration, and is constructed with a vertical flange or riin, B, at its edge for holding the iron in place, and on its opposite it is provided with feet or lugs C C, which are adapted to recesses or openings in the bars or brackets D D. The latter are intended to be attached to an ironin g-board, and when the holder is in position with its feet in the openings E, there is no liability of the holder sliding from the board when it is tilted. The said brackets or bars D are intended to be used on ironing-boards for the purpose of preventing the holder from sliding oli' the same, as when putting on or taking oli' a skirt, when the board must be tilted; but for ordinary table-use they are not essential.

Vith a sad-iron holder constructed as above described, the same can be reversed to present either face for supporting the iron, by which means the holder is adapted for the ordinary stands or tables.

I claim 1. A reversible sad-iron holder constructed, as described, with the feet or lugs 0 adapted to recesses in the bars I), and with a vertical rim or flange, B, as set forth, so that the holder may be reversed to present either face for supporting the iron, substantially as specified.

2. In combination with the sad-iron holder, having the feet or lugs G and vertical r1111 13, the brackets or bars 1) D, adapted to be attached to an ironing-board for holding and confining in place the holder A, substantially as described.
